Thank you, Lars, for your interest.  Now that I live in France 
this particular issue can be quite annoying...

I tried, this is what gets added to *imap log* when a message 
fails to be stored:

22:59:56 [cwg] 597 SELECT "2015"
22:59:57 [cwg] 598 APPEND "2015" {1372}

At the same time the following appears in *Messages*:

Couldn't store article in group nnimap+cwg:2015: ((BAD Error in 
IMAP command APPEND: Invalid arguments.))

On the other hand, when a message is stored without problems, the 
following
gets added to *imap log*:

22:56:14 [cwg] 496 SELECT "2015"
22:56:14 [cwg] 497 APPEND "2015" {1381}
22:56:14 [cwg] 498 SELECT "2015"
22:56:14 [cwg] 499 UID FETCH 1:* FLAGS
22:56:14 [cwg] 500 SELECT "2015"
22:56:14 [cwg] 501 UID STORE 177 +FLAGS.SILENT (\Seen)

Not sure whether this is of much help.  Please let me know if you 
have
other ideas.

Another observation:
I noticed the problem only ever with subjects that contain 
non-ASCII characters.
It can be reproduced with certain subjects (e.g. "C’est déjà 
tard").  On the
other hand, some subjects (e.g. "déjà vu") do not seem to trigger 
the error.
